Warning: TSA Worker Pay at Risk as Homeland Security Funds Dwindle
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin issued a warning that the funds to pay 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers will be depleted in the upcoming weeks unless Congress takes action to provide funding for the department. President Donald Trump had previously instructed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to utilize emergency funds to compensate TSA employees who had not received pay for approximately six weeks, leading to significant disruptions at U.S. airports. Mullin emphasized on "Fox and Friends" that the allocated money is expected to run out by early May.
